My teen and I drive 45 minutes without traffic so usually over an hour to sportsball practice multiple times a week. The rule is that now that she is in high school she has to do some school work in the car on the way up and since she had to read daily I suggested we listen to an audiobook if she didn't have any other work. Something engaging and teen appropriate with a good narrator or better multiple narrators.

Princess Donut his talking cat is fantastic.
There’s a sub on Reddit so check it out yourself.
The Hunger Games.
“West With the Night” by Beryl Markham is a very engaging and captivating memoir masterfully performed by Julie Harris. It’s more a series of “short stories” and doesn’t have a long plot that’s hard to remember from one session to the next.

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman – there is an excellent audiobook production narrated by a full cast

How about THE PRINCESS BRIDE by William Goldman?
My daughter and I are currently listening to A Natural History of Dragons.
It’s a fictional memoir set in an alternative history timeline about a young lady who defies gender norms in the early 19th century to study natural history, specifically the study of dragons in their natural environments.
>You, dear reader, continue at your own risk. It is not for the faint of heart—no more so than the study of dragons itself. But such study offers rewards beyond compare: to stand in a dragon’s presence, even for the briefest of moments—even at the risk of one’s life—is a delight that, once experienced, can never be forgotten. . . .
>All the world, from Scirland to the farthest reaches of Eriga, know Isabella, Lady Trent, to be the world’s preeminent dragon naturalist. She is the remarkable woman who brought the study of dragons out of the misty shadows of myth and misunderstanding into the clear light of modern science. But before she became the illustrious figure we know today, there was a bookish young woman whose passion for learning, natural history, and, yes, dragons defied the stifling conventions of her day.
>Here at last, in her own words, is the true story of a pioneering spirit who risked her reputation, her prospects, and her fragile flesh and bone to satisfy her scientific curiosity; of how she sought true love and happiness despite her lamentable eccentricities; and of her thrilling expedition to the perilous mountains of Vystrana, where she made the first of many historic discoveries that would change the world forever.
